**This Photo Show and Tell coincides with this week’s Walgreen’s sale. To see the entire list of sales items at Walgreens this week, go Here! I had a great time at Walgreens today. My Walgreens was stocked of the items I was looking for, I had $10.50RRs (Register Rewards) that were expiring tomorrow and the store was empty so I was able to do multiple transactions and not feel badly about it at all! 🙂 When all is said and done, I spent a total of $3.19 on all of the items in the picture above. I saved $138.61 AND I earned $16RRs to use next time! My day today is a perfect example of why it is better to do multiple transactions when you are dealing with RRs. I will break down all of my transactions in case you are interested in buying any of the items I bought. Also – don’t forget I started with $10.50 RRs!

Thanks for coming to Addicted to Saving! Here’s a little bit about me so you can know who’s behind all these posts!
My name is Liza and I began my money-saving journey in the Spring of 2009 as a way to stretch a limited household income. I had lost my job and my hubby was self-employed. I launched Addicted to Saving in November of 2009 and it has grown by leaps and bounds. Since then, my hubby and I have struggled with the ups and downs of two failed adoptions and are now LOVING being parents to our little man Asher who we brought home from Ethiopia in August of 2013. I feel incredibly blessed to be able to help you save money. My goal is that you will have FUN and become empowered to save more and more money each week..
I just found your blog. I recently began using coupons and shopping at CVS and Walgreens. i am learning! I was reading several posts on your blog and I saw that you consider Runner’s World a “must have”. Are you a runner? Me too! Recreational runner, that is.
I am looking forward to learning from your blog!
Hi Roan! Yeah!! A fellow runner! 🙂 I don’t pay for many magazine subscriptions but I will pay FULL PRICE for Runner’s World. I am an avid recreational/competitive runner as well! Running Gasparilla Half Marathon this Sunday! Welcome to my blog. Let me know if you have any questions or if I can assist you at all – I would love to help!
Hysterical…I read SouthernSavers. Saw your link on “how did you do this week” so this is my first visit. Ironically, my hubby too finds Runner’s World a second only to his Bible 😉 and he also will be running the 1/2 tomorrow with you and you won’t even know it! Nice to “meet” you!
Hi Tausha and Brianne! Tausha – how did your hubby do in the Gasparilla half today? It was a BEAUTIFUL day for a race. I had a wonderful time and it’s a shame I didn’t see you or your husband there! Brianne – You are so right about the weather! My friend ran the 15k at Gasparilla yesterday and we definitely had better weather today! I LOVED Wicked. I hadn’t read much about the actual storyline so everything I saw today was new and exciting. Now I need to watch Wizard of Oz again!!
